I purchased this book for an introductory course in topology. As a non-specialist in applied mathematics, this book has concise contents and very readable. I am still on my way through this book and recommend this book to who wants to dive into an astonishing world of topology. Highly recommended for non-math-specialists. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction, especially for self-study *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015* Overall, great introductory book to topology. The pedagogy was excellent and the development of topics made sense in going from metric spaces (a notion that is general more intuitive) to abstract topological spaces.In particular, it was great for self-study as Mendelson doesn't shy away from fully fleshing-out proofs and repeating relatively similar cases with some additional notes (e.g. when going from metric to topological spaces and proving several ideas there). The book itself can certainly be read by anyone with a set theory background and some intuitive notion of limits/sequences (i.e. a class in pre-calculus), but that doesn't mean it's easy, by any means. I struggled quite a bit with the intuition behind some of the proofs, and have, more than once, rolled around on my bed trying to recall (or prove again) some particular statement that I found quite useful. Sadly, the book doesn't have a section on homotopy equivalence and some other useful notions, but do recall it is an introduction in exactly 200 pages of short text.This book took me at least 20-30 hours to get through, skipping only the very latter section on compactess and doing at least two of the harder problems in each section; but I have very little experience with analysis, something I'm sure would have helped complete this and gain the corresponding intuition much more quickly.Again, great book and would highly recommend it for self-study of topology. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good introductory level book *by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018* This is an entry level book about general topology (or point set topology). The book is written in a clear and well-organized manner, quite easy to follow. It's worth mentioning that aside from the rigorous statement of concepts/theorems, the author also made an effort to explain how and why people get there. This helps me gain the mathematical intuition about the topics, and hence gain better and structured understanding and make the topics really a solid part of my knowledge. The problems are quite gentle and proper for beginners. BTW, I am not majored in mathematics, but I feel quite comfortable going through this book. Quite pleasant reading experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/118374769-introduction-to-topology-third-edition-dover-books-on-mathematics](https://www.desertcart.it/products/118374769-introduction-to-topology-third-edition-dover-books-on-mathematics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
